Overview
About Me
It's cliche, but travel really broadens your horizons. I'm a firm believer in this, and I have chosen to go on a big adventure around Europe and hopefully the whole world.
I've taught for 5 years in Australia and I've decided to expand my experiences. I grew up in Australia and I currently live in Spain (I have Italian nationality).
I love hiking, trail running, nature and any platform to help out society. Sharing these journeys makes life even better!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to meet awesome people and I also want to understand what life is like as a local- rather than go to a hotel without a true understanding of where I'm at.
Also, of course it helps with the expenses. But when I get back to Australia, I'm going to get right on to Couch Surfing and help out as much as possible!
